So confusing how holding people in confinement, starving them, and selling their labor to others without compensation gets people tossing the word "slavery" around. Obviously it's the people paying wages to voluntary workers

It's not that nobody likes it, in fact the problem is that people like each instance of it well enough in isolation. Millions of people think it's "good enough," so it gets amplified and repeated until every PR descripti

The proposed bill would still allow you to choose to be on-call. Your boss just has to compensate you for your time explicitly when it falls outside of agreed hours, instead of getting an implicit claim to your entire life by virtue of your

Presumably Suzie also serves the people in her community who want tanned skin but don't like the sun. A data center offers nothing of value to the community it's embedded in - neither jobs nor any useful product or service. All th

No one is "making things insecure" here - it was already hopelessly insecure by design. The author is just revealing the uncomfortable truth.

The project README has explicitly asked users not to use LLMs for years before adding this "malware" to the output. Since LLM users seem incapable of understanding consent, apparently a more firm reminder was needed. As mentioned

As mentioned in another comment, it's even more clear cut in this case. They actually put the original git sources in their project repo and instructed the agent to use it as the "source of truth". Simple thought experiment.

You consider it a malfunction for your system to not accept and execute untrusted inputs? And now it's the responsibility of _every program that produces text output_ to tailor the output so as not to cause you problems? I feel like I&

Unfortunately, it seems that few of the people willing to pay money for software development actually care whether you understand the code or not. Unless it breaks in a publicly embarrassing way, of course. Then "you own the code"

Parallels is quite good - I can watch 4K YouTube videos at 60fps with no noticeable frame drops on an M1 Pro, and general desktop animations, etc. are fine. That said, I do occasionally get rendering glitches, usually in Firefox where a sma

The color change doesn't bother me nearly as much as the change in proportions. Insetting the face on the right and removing its curvature makes the smile look super weird and less "human" to me. I'm sure I'll get u

Those examples are all either zero cost or "buy once, use forever." How is that an argument against outsourcing your core competency to third party in perpetuity?

Good thing my MP3 files only store a psycho-acoustic model of that Metallica album! I mean sure, if you go to painstaking lengths, you can trick your computer into making some noise that seems vaguely similar to the copyrighted work it was

I think it makes sense if you think of Tauri as a "view layer" for rust apps. If you're building a rust GUI app using something like Dioxus, I could easily see wanting to bundle a cross-platform renderer with consistent &quot

How do you get from “ Right now, nobody knows from whence personhood rises” to (paraphrasing) “once we can recreate the connectome, we can back people up?” If we don’t know what it even is, why is it so inevitable that we’ll be able to recr

I'm rewatching the originals now, and it occurred to me that they were made during that magic period when computer graphics were advanced enough to be believable, but still expensive enough to be used sparingly. By the time the Hobbit

You don't actually need to rebuild the world, just the part that changed. It's rare to have other nix derivations depend on the dotfiles directly, so changes don't "cascade" to the rest of the system. I just timed h

How would you even measure that? Art is inherently subjective, and the “arts scene” even more so.

Not the person you're asking, but I use nix on my MacBook and ditched brew after a few weeks. The main draw for me was that I was already using home-manager on NixOS, and being able to share the same config on macOS was pretty compelli
